    Vegetable Lentil Soup

    This vegetable lentil soup is a high-protein vegan soup that is quick and loaded with the goodness of veggies. I'm keeping this simple with simple seasoning yet that is enough to add tons of flavor to the soup. Plus, garlic is a great addition to the soups.

    You can make this lentil soup with vegetables on the stovetop or in an instant pot. This recipe is a simple, healthy, one-pot meal for a cozy winter and fall to warm up the body quickly.

    To make the soup oil free, just dump all the ingredients (except the soft vegetables and green leafy veggies) in one large pot and simmer for 30 minutes. And then add the soft and green vegetables towards the end and simmer for another 5 - 7 minutes. And a beautiful looking delicious tasting soup is ready.

    Which vegetables can be added to this?

    I normally add potatoes, carrots, green beans, zucchini, squash, and broccoli with some greens alike kale or spinach. The soft and leafy vegetables are best to add towards the end since we don't want to cook them longer. This way we can save their nutritional value. Spinach only needs to be wilted towards the end. etc in this lentil preparation.

    How to make vegetable lentil soup?

    In a pot heat oil. Then add chopped garlic and saute for 15 - 20 seconds till they start to change color. Add chopped onions, celery and carrots. Saute for 3 - 4 minutes or till oninon becomes translucent.
